“And you said nothing happened? Seems to me your endurance is still quite poor!”After speaking, Benjamin ignored Tiger’s resentful gaze and slowly walked out of the corridor, then told leisurely.“I saved your life back then. That was my responsibility. As for the grudges among your gang, I don’t want to get involved. If you’re looking for my help, you’ve got the wrong person. I don’t want to get involved in this mess.”Leaving his final words for Tiger, Benjamin quickly walked out of the corridor and headed outside the hotel, where Isabella was waiting. Earlier, their business discussion had gone smoothly, so her mood had improved considerably.However, as soon as she saw Benjamin’s figure slowly approaching, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. Her gaze toward him was somewhat complicated.“Where have you been? I couldn’t find you.”After following Isabella and Radley to the VIP room, Benjamin was quickly pulled aside by Tiger for a chat. So Isabella couldn’t find him. Hear
"What's going on here?"At this moment, everyone was highly astonished. No one expected Panther to be injured. Moreover, Panther's knife had just been swung down. However, just as the blade was about a centimeter away from Bernie's body, Panther suddenly clutched his arm and screamed in pain. His knife fell to the ground, and his expression showed sheer terror."Who? Who hit me from behind?"Despite feeling terrified, Panther tried to maintain his composure in front of his subordinates, holding his arm while scanning the area and yelling loudly.Clap! Clap! Clap!In response to Panther's furious roar, a round of sarcastic applause rang out. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the source of the sound, and both Panther and his followers were dumbfounded to see Benjamin slowly approaching."Not bad, not bad at all! You're still standing after being hit by my concealed weapon. That's quite impressive!"As he spoke, Benjamin dragged the bloody, gasping bald man towards Panther and his gr
"Shameless!"Seeing Benjamin's move, the female assassin cursed under her breath. The members of the Panther gang were even more furious. No one thought Benjamin would resort to such a despicable technique when facing a woman."Hmph, shameless or not, as long as I can defeat you, that's enough!"Benjamin ignored the female assassin's cursing and the angry stares of the Panther gang. After all, he didn't have suitable weapons, and the female assassin's skills were not weak. So, Benjamin wouldn't hesitate to use any available tactics to bring her down.Of course, while she cursed, Zale's movements didn't slow down. Just as Benjamin's legs aimed at her chest, Zale swung her two daggers, stabbing straight at Benjamin's knees.Silently exclaiming that this was bad, Benjamin again twisted his body mid-air, kicking Zale's daggers away. However, his attack was also missed.Spotting a weakness, the female assassin drew a thin sword from her waist, aiming for Benjamin's lower abdomen. If struck
The more Andrea spoke, the more agitated she became, causing team leader Gavin’s scalp to tingle. Fortunately, at that moment, a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel on his shoulder entered swiftly from outside. He barely glanced at Benjamin and his people, then focused on Andrea.“Comrade Andrea, your family just called and asked you to come home for a while. Your superiors have approved a month’s leave for you. If you have no matters to hand over, you can finish work now.”Seeing the colonel approaching, Andrea’s expression did not soften. On the contrary, she became even more furious, slamming her hand on the table and shouting.“Why? Why do you have to do this? Those bastards truly deserve to die. I want them all to pay for the mistakes they’ve made. I want an investigation, and I want those wretches brought to justice.”At this point, the city’s public security bureau chief couldn’t help but frown. However, his attitude towards Andrea remained gentle.“Andrea, the chief has d
The following day, Benjamin woke up early. After a deep sleep the night before, he felt refreshed. However, as he left his room and planned to head downstairs, he suddenly overheard a conversation between the Taylor family members.“Isabella, how is Winston doing? I heard he got beaten up a few days ago. Is it true?”Upon hearing the question, Isabella responded: “Yes, it’s true.”Hearing this, Raelynn’s demeanor instantly turned furious, and her voice grew louder.“Those despicable people! How dare they lay a hand on my son-in-law! No, Isabella, you must go with me to the hospital today to visit Winston.”At this point, Isabella’s movements hesitated slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed somewhat. However, after a moment, she nodded in agreement.“Okay, later, I’ll go with Mom to visit him.”Hearing Isabella’s consent, Raelynn’s face became delighted. However, as the sound of Benjamin’s footsteps approached, her expression changed 180 degrees, revealing extreme disdain. Moreover, she e
Seeing Benjamin’s gaze, Isabella’s face momentarily turned red. However, she quickly regained her composure and glared at him.“What are you thinking? I want to treat you to breakfast as a way of thanking you for your help these past few days!”Upon hearing Isabella’s words, Benjamin’s expression became even more puzzled. He hadn’t been thinking anything. He just felt surprised, wondering if Isabella had taken some strange medicine. This was the first time Isabella invited him to a meal, even if it was just breakfast.However, after a while, Benjamin’s face turned sour. Suddenly, Olivia called him, leaving him unsure how to respond.“What’s going on? Who’s calling you at this hour? If you’re busy, you can take me to the office first. Afterward, you can go about your business.”Seemingly noticing Benjamin’s discomfort, Isabella’s voice sounded from behind him. However, her tone conveyed a hint of unfamiliarity. Through the rearview mirror, Benjamin could even see Isabella’s eyebrows sl
"Olivia, where do you want to go now? Do you want to take a walk around the city with me? It's been a long time since I've had the chance to explore the city, and I wonder if anything has changed?!"After finishing breakfast, the two went down to the parking lot. Suddenly, Benjamin made a suggestion that caught Olivia a bit off-guard. However, after briefly pondering, she nodded in agreement."Of course, I don't have anything else to do.""Alright, then get in the car. I'll take you to some interesting places. I can guarantee you've never been to places like these before."As he spoke, Benjamin quickly opened the car door, allowing Olivia to sit in the passenger seat while he took his place behind the wheel. Hearing Benjamin's words, Olivia's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.Olivia was not a native of the city. She had come here to work and stayed in the town for more than ten years. Though this was a considerable amount of time, Olivia hardly ventured out except for work and had few f
Olivia had never encountered a situation like this before, so her expression became extremely awkward. However, before Benjamin could respond, the group inside the car had already gotten out. There were about four of them, each carrying a large bag. Furthermore, as Benjamin observed, they all seemed to be armed.“Damn it, how unlucky can we be? This stupid car loses its brakes at such a crucial moment?!”“Boss, what should we do now? The police are chasing us from behind. If we don’t find a way to escape, they’ll catch us soon.”At that moment, a young man appeared somewhat frightened, his eyes constantly glancing toward the far end of the road. Although he couldn’t hear the police sirens, he still felt a sense of unease in his heart.However, the others did not have time to pay much attention. One of them, who seemed vicious, turned his eyes toward Benjamin’s car parked opposite them.“Boss, there’s a car over there. Why don’t we go steal it and continue our escape?”The boss was a m
Benjamin, unbeknownst to him, was oblivious to the demonic prince's frenzy over the armor. He held in his hand a command token, under which lay a somewhat tragic corpse. However, a familiar energy emanated from the token, causing his brows to furrow deeply, for a voice resounded urgently within his mind."Chirp chirp!"Deep in thought, Benjamin was roused by Alan's voice. The creature, now the size of a sparrow, perched gracefully upon his shoulder.Recognizing the intention behind the creature's head rubbing against him, a tender smile graced Benjamin's lips: "You did wonderfully." he praised."Chirp chirp!"In response, Alan regurgitated an ancient ring which landed deftly in Benjamin's palm. As it touched his skin, the ring transformed into a golden glow, wrapping around his finger. It was the space ring Benjamin had discovered in the Dragon Palace. Although the spirit inside was dormant, its basic functions remained accessible.Earlier, Benjamin had entrusted this ring to Alan to
Instantly, his face became grave. Only now did he discern the fading form of Alan, with even the flames upon it having waned by more than half. Yet, what was most alarming was the emanating ominous aura from the Demon God's heart, causing Benjamin to jolt and hurriedly shout,"Elder!""Hm?!"Hearing Benjamin's call, an ethereal figure suddenly appeared outside the central region of the altar. Its gaze locked onto the sealed space above the altar."Ha ha ha, foolish humans, my true form is almost here. Once it arrives, I'll reduce the both of you to mere ashes!"Sensing the familiar aura steadily nearing the altar, the Demon God's heart laughed triumphantly.However, a languid voice suddenly intervened,"Quiet!"Following which, an overpowering force, emanating from Benjamin, suddenly descended, shattering the very core of the heart."AHH!"A scream echoed from within. Simultaneously, an ethereal figure, eyes filled with disbelief, turned towards the altar."What is this force?!"Feeli
Boom!Boom!Several blows in succession, and Benjamin had lost track of time. But at this moment, cracks began to appear on the wall before him. They spread and widened until finally, with a full-force punch, the wall collapsed. A vast space revealed itself, stretching out before his eyes.Here, Benjamin beheld a huge sacrificial altar, filling almost the entire space. Above the altar hung a heart. Though he could not ascertain from what creature it was taken, its appearance allowed him to sense an incredibly evil energy, pervading the entire space.Moreover, this evil energy made his mind reel slightly. Were it not for his strong will, Benjamin feared he would have been bewitched by the heart.Instantly, his face marked with caution, he retreated a few steps."This is truly bizarre? How could such an altar appear here?"But just then, stepping back some twenty meters, a sound of great astonishment suddenly came from behind him.Startled, Benjamin quickly turned to see the people who
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with blonde hair and glasses, holding a laptop, arrived looking somewhat harried and sleep-deprived. He looked toward Red, placed his hand over his chest, and rapidly spoke.“Prince Red, why have you summoned me here? My research is on the brink of completion, needing only one final step. If there's nothing urgent, I would like to return and continue with my work.”After speaking, the middle-aged man seemed incredibly impatient, ready to turn and leave.Seeing this, Red felt slightly annoyed but did not show anger. Instead, his face bore a placating expression, and he hastily replied.“Mr. Steven, I genuinely have a very important matter that requires your assistance. Agat and Orange are in trouble in New Braum, and I want you to go there and bring them back. What do you think?”Red's attitude was extremely humble, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance and pride.However, Steven seemed not to care, his eyes sweeping the control room in a glan
However, Steven seemed uninterested, his eyes sweeping the control room before he spoke, a little annoyed.“Your Highness Red, such a trivial matter, and you call me here? If you feel overly bored, I can help you with some training time. Within the next twenty-four hours, I assure you that the time spent will not be wasted at all!”Hearing this, Red's eyes showed a hint of fear.Although the man was just a human, his strength was not particularly great. However, Steven's status in the kingdom was very special. He was a scholar, and his creativity was terrifying.Hundreds of years ago, when the kingdom of Autuman was just a small tribe on the planet Namec, their king, then a young man, luckily rescued a human, and this human was the middle-aged man before him, Steven.Harnessing the terrifying breadth of Steven's intellect, in less than a decade, Autuman evolved from a minor tribe, nestled in the wilderness of planet Namec, into a mighty empire. They conquered the entirety of Namec, an
Boom!Boom!Boom!Blood painted the sky, and countless pieces of metal debris littered the ground.A smirk formed on Benjamin's lips. He hadn't expected that after such a long slumber, its power had grown so immense.However, the sight of the scattered armor shards pained him.Such high-quality armor pieces, capable of enhancing a warrior's strength and providing incredible defense, were now in ruins. For someone of Benjamin's caliber, these armors might not pose much challenge, but if equipped by his soldiers, they would have been invaluable assets, exponentially amplifying their combat prowess.Although he felt a twinge of regret, Benjamin didn't blame Alan. Instead, he commended him."Alan, you did splendidly!""Chirp, chirp!"As Benjamin's praise graced his ears, a rush of exhilaration surged through Alan. In mere moments, his form swiftly contracted, taking on the delicate guise of a sparrow, which alighted on Benjamin's shoulder, its chirps melodious and relentless.Witnessing s
"Ha ha ha, I was merely jesting with you." he laughed with ease, his eyes dancing mischievously: "No need to take it so seriously. Anyway, feel free to examine it. It's now mine, and even if you wish, you cannot claim it."With a boisterous laugh, Benjamin, brimming with amusement, effortlessly tossed a ring towards her.Catching a glimpse of his action, a pang of surprise coursed through Fidelma. Still, she reached out, catching the item.Holding the ornate ring in her hand, she felt a strange force emanating from within. The intricate designs adorning it suggested an ancient aura. Fidelma could confidently deduce that this was a space treasure. Its grade was undoubtedly high, surpassing any artifact she had previously encountered in the annals or in the treasury of the Moonlight Religious Sect."Done examining?" His voice hinted at impatience: "If so, kindly return it."Watching Fidelma cradle the ring, almost reluctant to release it, a twitch of amusement played on Benjamin's lips.
Now, even though its headpiece had been severed, it was still far more complete than the other armors.Without hesitation, he approached, with a mere thought, his storage ring's light flared. The entire armor, along with the leader's corpse, was drawn into it.He then surveyed the surroundings once more, detecting no anomalies. Benjamin then proceeded towards Dermot's wooden house atop the hill."Boss, you're not hurt, are you?" asked Azaria, eyeing Benjamin's bloodstained appearance with a hint of concern.Benjamin glanced at him and shook his head."I'm fine; go rest. Tonight, there may be more to do. I'll handle it myself." he said, continuing straight to Dermot's bedroom.Upon seeing Benjamin's bloodied state, Irina suddenly rushed over, her face filled with alarm. She hastily grabbed his hand, her expression fraught with concern."You...you're alright?" she stammered.Seeing her worry, Benjamin merely shook his head without verbally responding. Meanwhile, Dermot emerged from the
Although puzzled, Benjamin refrained from questioning her outright. Instead, his gaze swept the room. Aside from scattered clothing and discarded food on the floor, nothing seemed amiss. It was logical. After all, someone fleeing in a hurry wouldn't leave traces behind."Where did the woman who was in your room go?" he inquired, his sudden question startling Irina, making her let out a soft gasp.At her reaction, Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze growing wary: "What did you ask?" she stammered, fear evident in her voice.Reiterating his query but with more firmness, he watched as Irina visibly shrank back, finally murmuring: "She...she said she had something to do and left. Can...can you not look at me like that? I'm truly scared."Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, every word dripping with fear. Benjamin felt a pang of confusion but, before he could react, she threw herself at him, gripping him tightly: "Please don't go. I'm truly terrified. This place... I can't bear to
